Produktbeschreibung

A CHANCE MEETING IN A HOSPITAL KIOSK. A STRANGER IN A LINEN MASK. AND A VOICE FROM A DISTANT PAST...

Harry wasn't that way no more. The killing business. But sometimes a man's past catches up leaving him no way out but to confront old enemies one last time.

HA-LA-LI...What do old hunters do when the bugle sounds the end of the hunt? Tired from the quest that had dominated his life for so long now, a quest that had taken him from the desperate hunt for a rogue mini-nuclear weapon to the chase for untold riches buried in the icy wastes of Antarctica, Harry Dance is looking forward to a little holiday back in sunny South Africa. Maybe hook up with a few buddies from a time when his life had been simpler, sit around a campfire, tell each other lies..

BUT HARRY DIDN'T RECKON WITH BLUE ICE. THAT ICY BOLT OF DEATH FROM NOWHERE. Soon he finds himself dragged into

the human whirlpool of the New South Africa where it's business as usual and only the masks are different. And this time it's about the children of Africa, the country's ultimate prize and the evil men will do to grasp that prize...

AND THEN THERE'S SAVANNAH, DEADLY SAVANNAH... Yesterday's faceless men , wearing new identities, back in business.

The kind of business that will bring Harry on a collision course with deadly ghosts from the past. But this time it's different,

for Harry's back on home turf and in the shadows of the Dark Continent nobody plays the game better than Harry Dance...

The third in the Shadows of a Rainbow trilogy, The Blue Ice Shadow is a breathless ride to high adventure as the horrors of

yesterday make way for those of today.

Autorenporträt

Growing up in apartheid-era South Africa Eben Beukes experienced at first hand the turbulent transition period of that country to a modern democracy. A University of Stellenbosch graduate he worked as a young surgeon in several of the country's "black hospitals" after completing his compulsory military service in the SADF.In later years he worked as a surgeon at a large military hospital in Saudi Arabia, two years in New Zealand and for the five years leading up to 2006 was a senior surgeon at the Armed Forces Hospital in Kuwait City, the base hospital at the start of the Iraq War in 2003.His experience during the six weeks war led to the publication of Pockets of Resistance documenting the often farcical and always chaotic inner workings of a large military hospital with Americans and Arabs reluctantly rubbing shoulders while in the throes of a hot war. A total of seven years in the Middle East provided the background for both The Mask of Louka (Saudi Arabia) and its sequel, Devil's Tumble, both featuring British educated Kuwaiti detective, Riad Ajmi.Earlier novels were political thrillers set against the background of a newly democratic South Africa. These feature Harry Dance in the Shadows of a Rainbow trilogy: The Cherry Red Shadow, The Lily White Shadow and the recently published The Blue Ice Shadow.Other novels include Any Way the Wind Blows, a noir detective novel as well as A Straitlaced Man.Eben Beukes lives in Australia.
